The 2017 LT Model Includes All LS Features As Well As:
Leather-appointed first- and second-row seats
Bose® premium sound system
Heated front bucket seats with memory
Power liftgate with programmable height
Lane Keep Assist
Forward Collision Alert

This looks like the package I had... pretty much standard run of the mill LT trim. Which is the most popular I'd think?!

Also chevy says seating for up to 9... :wtf: ? HOW?
Benches for 3 rows gets you 9 seats, breh. I can (and have) fit 6 in my truck.

Also, LT is probably the most popular because they're cheaper than LTZ. Weird LT doesn't have HIDz...
I had 7 ppl in the golf too. :hubba: That was funskies. I have never seen a bench inside of a suburban (up front)

Who sells a car without brights?
The brakes in my moms fusion are way too touchy. Inching the car forward is very difficult. Like, your first day driving a manual difficult.

Heated Steering wheel is lyfe, breh.

Infamous said she will never consider another car without a heated steering wheel. :butwhy: I have used it, and can confirm it's kind of nice, but will never EVER be a "requirement" for me.

But for whatever reason, she LOVES her Volt. The other night we had bad wind, and I mentioned that I hoped a tree would finally take out the garage. She freaked out "But my car is in there!" and actually went outside and moved it out of the garage, right next to the truck with the theory that if a tree fell, the truck would save her car.
:lolol: :wtf: :mindblown:

Mind you, this is a self-proclaimed giant vehicle lover. This Burb used to be her dream car. Now she's all about the Volt.

I don't think they actually make any outside of fleet. It's just something that allows marketing to claim "Seating for up to 9" Which sounds :impressive: in this BIGGERISBETTER world.

I looked through the options... looks like the LS trim has a (250) option (Credit) for getting a front bitch err bench seat.

I can see loving the volt, it is a great appliance car. I liked driving a lot. Would have gotten one if I had 0FG about driving.

It's going to be a performance accessory, actually. Nobody will buy them, but still...an option. 6-pot Brembros.
That would be awesome.

Dat color doe. I am not sure I'd get a Tahoe right meow.... they are way too expensive in the used market because everyone wants one... also yours seems good?

Also 3 ppl in the 3rd row is just straight up poverty.

Yes mine works perfectly well. I just spent $850 on it keeping it that way. And yes, we need another gas crisis to destroy the SUV market. 3rd row is for kids, pets, or drunk people.

I would remove the 3rd row from a Tahoe if I got one.

Isn't 3rd row in Tahoe and Suburban same size and everything? Suburban just adds more room to the back end in cargo space, yes? This is what you said, I might be misunderstanding it....

A tahoe would also make more sense since it eliminates the un-necessary size increase in the burban. The 3rd row isn't exactly comfortable either.

If you need the cargo room but often have lots of people/kids filling up seats the Suburban would make more sense. For example, if I were to end up with a chick who also has 2 kids and we went to the snow or whatever similar to that, a Suburban would be way better than a Tahoe.

If you ask me, they make the Suburban for Mormons. :lol:

I am not 100% sure. But I would just yank the 3rd row out of a Tahoe and call it a day. The 3rd row in both vehicles is somewhat useless.

Chick+2 kids + me would fit into a 5 seater just fine. It would be chick + her parents+2 kids. That would be a better scenario.

The cargo area of the burban is HUGE. even with the 3rd row in place. In a tahoe however the 3rd row sits in the cargo area.

With AZNs you always have to account for her parents.

That kid is exaggerating. My brother has a Tahoe. His kids fit back there no problem. Why this kid turns his feet out is beyond me doe. I will agree that it is not very big back there. But smaller kids fit. I even have a good buddy with a Suburban and he has 4 kids. Only the 2 oldest do not sit in the back. The others love it.
